I marked as a three but really after being there 5-6 times... My experiences have either been a 2 or a 4. The food is always pretty good. There is no host station. So you walk in and just stand there and wait for an employee to approach you. Which sometimes doesnt happen real promptly. The service staff is laid back and sometimes thats alright other times you just want them to do there job more formally and stop chatting. Now it seems the places maintance is waning. The leather chair tops are splitting, the faux wood beams had cobwebs all over them. And the floor looks like it was not designed for heavy wear. All minor things that can be overlooked but that being said... Why not just fix the minor things?

The food is great. Service is awful. We went yesterday and were seated promptly. After sitting for 20 minutes without a staff member coming to the table, we walked out. The food was great the first time and service was super slow but thought to try again. We won't be going back a third time.

Food was delicious. Fried calamari just right, not rubbery. Squid ink pasta dish is the best. I ordered Gorgonzola Filet for the first time and it was great. Only thing about the service was 4 entrées came out at about the same time and it was probably another 10 minutes before mine arrived. Atmosphere OK but very noisy so hard to have a natural conversation. Ample free parking. Right across the street from the Geneva Metra station on 3rd Street so very accessible. One of our 'go to' restaurants for family and friends occasions.
Service was amazing, started with a drink that my girlfriend had selected for herself. I unfortunately I didn't know what I had wanted yet and they offered me time to decide while they prepared my girlfriends drink. When he came back I had made a selection. We also proceeded to order two Starters, the crane cakes and the garlic butter shrimp with grits was delicious. Our mane course being pork chops cooked perfectly well done on a bed of risotto and a carbonara linguini with grilled asperities and mushroom. Both very delicious. Can be pricy but I enjoy dining out for the quality food they provide for the price.

Went to Cotto for lunch at Geneva Festival of the Vine. It was very crowded but we still received great service. A little bit of a wait but I'm sure it was due to the fest. The Lemoncello Spritzer was excellent as well as the Caprese. We were so impressed that we came back for dinner. As you can see, the pizza looked and smelled so good, I couldn't wait to take a bite! Highly recommended!!

This is a nice place in Geneva, IL to dine it at. However, the quality of the food was really bad in our last visit. Salty and Salmon was very dry. I think we'll try a different place going forward.Italian food is in my blood and this place is certainly not Italian. Not even close.

Had pizza and pasta, both excellent!! The wood fired pizza is the best, especially if you like extra crispy. House salad was excellent too! Definitely going back!

Had lunch out on the patio yesterday. Ambiance, music, was nice. Very disappointed with the meal. Ordered Cajun chicken pasta which the server said was nice. The dish was bland and the cubed pieces of chicken tasted as if they had been microwaved. The server came back shortly after to check on us and I said there’s no Cajun in the Cajun pasta? She seemed unconcerned and did not offer any suggestions. I asked for red pepper flakes, which she brought promptly and then only returned with the check. My husband had the pasta with shrimp which looked like a soup. He said it was ok but did not even bring home the leftovers. So many other good restaurants so we won’t waste another try here.
